agent timed out when agent tried to summarize NPS verbatim comments by t

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in verbatim summarizer agent by acting on the exact problem first: cap each batch at a fixed comment count, summarize batches in parallel files with per batch theme counts, and set a hard stop that reports partial coverage honestly instead of timing out with nothing saved. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent timed out summarizing NPS verbatim comments by theme

Use this when

• The operation in verbatim summarizer agent fails with this exact problem or symptom: agent timed out summarizing NPS verbatim comments by theme.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• NPS follow-up, routing or reporting is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in verbatim summarizer agent, and copy the full problem plus the response, contact or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: cap each batch at a fixed comment count, summarize batches in parallel files with per batch theme counts, and set a hard stop that reports partial coverage honestly instead of timing out with nothing saved. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named response, record or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring responses, records or jobs that share the same config, segment or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in verbatim summarizer agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in verbatim summarizer agent so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Uncapped batches grow with backlog size until one step holds everything, while fixed batches with saved counts always produce a usable partial summary.

How to fix - agent timed out when agent tried to summarize NPS verbatim comments by theme error timeout failure slow

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in verbatim summarizer agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

verbatim summarizer agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: verbatim summarizer agent at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

Edge cases: if the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different record, treat that record as a second instance of the same class, apply the same fix per record, and keep the verified records separate from the still failing ones.

TL;DR

Fix this in verbatim summarizer agent by acting on the exact problem first: summarize verbatims in batches grouped by score band, save each batch theme summary to disk, and combine the batch summaries into the final report so a timeout keeps every finished batch. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

Summarizing an entire verbatim backlog in one step scales with comment count until it exceeds the timeout, while batch summaries stay small and combinable.

TL;DR

Fix this in verbatim summarizer agent by acting on the exact problem first: save theme counts and example comment identifiers after each batch, refresh the session credential between batches, and resume from the first unsummarized batch so no batch is counted twice.

Why it happens

Theme counts accumulated only in memory double count or vanish at expiry, and persisted per batch counts make the summary resumable and auditable.
